4.1 Test Preparations
!
If performing the battery test in a vehicle, ensure
that
$
all additional loads are deactivated,
$
the key is not in the ignition,
$
all doors are closed,
$
measuring is not carried out by or with steel
bolts.
i
Before connecting the tester, clean the battery posts
or side terminals with a wire brush and a mixture of
baking soda and water.
4.2

Connecting BAT 125

!
For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and
forth. The tester requires that both sides of each
clamp be firmly connected before testing. A poor
connection will produce a
WIGGLE CLAMPS
message. If the message appears,
clean the terminals and reconnect the clamps.
i
The preferred test position is at the battery termi-
nals. If the battery is not accessible, you may test at
the jumper post; however, the available power mea-
surement may be lower than the actual value.
